(cias-24) This invention relates to a projecting apparatus, and more particularly to an apparatus for projecting on a screen subject matter such as news items which are printed successively on a traveling web.

The present invention according to one of its phases has for an object, the provision of means to make it possible for a large number of spectators to observe and read the items that are printed by a machine of the type which utilizes a wide web of paper and which prints the items on the web in lines which extend transversely to the length of said web and transversely to the direction of its travel.

Various further speciilc objects, features and advantages will more clearly appear from the detailed description given below taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specication. s

Figs. 10, '11 and 12 show details of a modified form of construction; and

Fig. 13 is a diagram illustrating certain details of another modied arrangement.

Referring to the drawings, a reel 26 is shown which carries a web of paper 2| which passes through a. printing mechanism 22 where news items are printed thereon in the form of successive lines disposed transversely of the length of the web and of its direction of travel. The printing mechanism may be of any desirable type well known in the art. For the purposes of the present invention, it is only necessary to indicate a type wheel 23, which in the course of the operation of the printing device travels longitudinally of a shaft 24 so as to print-a line across the web 2 I.

The type wheel 23 may obtain its ink from an inking roll 24. It will be observed that the type wheel operates in a lateral direction against the web 2| when the same is in a substantially vertical position. Immediately after the web leaves the type wheel, it is extended into a horizontal position and is caused to pass over a supporting and suction plate'26 whichis provided with a plurality of apertures 26. A suction nozzle 21 5 may be mounted at the lower face of the plate 26, and operatively connected to any desired form of suction device by means of a hose 28.

A frame 29 may be disposed over the suction plate 26 and the webf2| travels and is guided bel0 tween the frame 26 and the suction plate. The object of the suction plate of the suction device is todraw the paper down fiat against the plate, so that the papermay be maintained at, thus eliminating any bulging thereof which tends to i6' cause distorted projection. The frame 29 serves to outline that printed portion of the web which it is desired to project.

While a line is being printed on the web, the paper remains stationary. At the completion'oflo each line, however, the web is moved longitudinally a distance equal to the -space between the printedv lines. The driving means which commonly appear in printing devices' of this type are utilized to feed the paper in the present con- 25 struction. In such devices, however, the feeding is accomplished at a point immediately beyond the type wheel. In the present construction this feeding operation is preferably transferred to a point removed from the type wheel 30 so that the suction table and the frame 29 may be disposed between the type wheel and the point at which the feeding of the paper is accomplished.

A shaft 30 may be driven by the printing mechanism and is arranged to operate feeding rollers 35 in a properly timed relationship with the type wheel, so that the web is fed a predetermined amount at the completlonvof the printing of each line. Power from the shaft 30 is transmitted by means of suitable gears as at al, s2, as, u and 40 35 to feed rollers 36. 'I'he gear 3| is carried by the shaft 30 and is driven thereby, while the gears 32, 33 and 34 are carried by stud shafts which are mounted on a supporting member 31.

-'Ihe supporting member 31 may be provided with 45 pressed by helical springs 41, press against the web 2l and hold the same in engagement with the. feed rollers 36 so as to facilitate the intermittent feeding of the web, lthe web being disposed between the feed rollers 36 and the respective press rollers 44. l

The side supporting members 31 and 40 are mounted on end plates 48 of the printing mechanism and also serve to support the suction plate 25 and the frame 29, which may be attached to the side supporting members by means of the screws 49 and 50.

The frame 29 is provided with a lateral extension 5| which serves to hide the type wheel 23 from view and also protects the type wheel and the ink thereon from the source of light and heat disposed over the printing mechanism.

Having described the cooperation of the web feeding means with the printing mechanism, I shall now proceed with a description of the manner in which the printing and feeding devices are mounted. The mounting means according to the present invention is preferably so designed that the portion of the printed web that is exposed within the frame 29 may be readily moved within certain limits from one position to another whereby the image projected therefrom may be properly located on the screen; the supporting means'for the printer being also preferably so constructed that access may be had to the printing mechanism or to any part thereof without disturbing the projecting devices.

In Figs. 3 and 4, 52 representsa casting which may be provided with apertured lugs 53 so that it may be bolted either to the floor or to the floor of a housing cabinet. 'Ihe casting 52 has a bearing surface 55 which serves to rotatably support a casting 54. The casting 54 may be provided with a stub shaft 56 which rotates within a bearing 51 provided in the base 52.

As will appear from a further description of the construction and operation of the apparatus, the casting 54 serves as a support for many of the operating elements of the apparatus and this support is made rotatable'with respect to the base 52 for the purpose of facilitating access to the printing mechanism. Under normal operation of the apparatus, however, it is desired that the support 54 remain amxed with relation to the base 52. For this purpose therefore the base 52 and the support 54 are provided with cooperating apertured lugs 58 and 59, which are so disposed that when the apparatus is in its normal position, the apertures of said lugs are in register with each other, andi a removable bolt 60 is inserted into said lugs to hold the base 52 and the support 54 against inadvertent relative movement. When it is desired to gain access to the printing mechanism, the bolt 60 is removed and the apparatus including the support 54 is rotated about the shaft 58 into position such that access may be had to the printing mechanism.

In order to facilitate the registry of the apertures and the lugs 58 and 59, the support 54 may be provided with a lateral and vertical extension 6|, as shown in Fig. 3, which abuts the lug 58 when the support 54 and the apparatus mounted thereon are rotated, and thereby also prevents the apparatus from being rotated in the wrong direction.

A table 62, which serves to support the web and the printing mechanism, is preferably separate from the projecting devices 63, altho both units are mounted in spaced positions on the sup port 54.

The table 62 which serves to support the printing mechanism is preferably so mountedon the base 54 that it may be moved into the dotted position indicated in Fig. 2. The table 62 is provided with four legs 64, 65, 68 and 61. The

pair of legs 65 and 66, which may be in the form of angle irons, are reinforced by horizontal angle irons 68 and 69. The pair of legs 64 and 61 may be similarly reinforced. Each of these pairs of legs, together with the reinforcing ele- 5 ments, therefore may constitute assembly units. Each of the legs may be pivotally mounted on the support 54 as indicated at 10, so that these legs, together with a table top 1| and the printing mechanism may be moved from the full line 10 position as shown in Fig. 2 to the dotted line position shown therein.

The table top 1|, which is in the form of a rectangular frame provided with a rectangular depending flange, carries stud shafts 12 which 15 serve as a means for pivotal mounting of the table top on the legs 64, 55, 66 and 61. When the table top 1| and its supporting legs are moved from the full line position to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 2, the table will still go remain in a horizontal position. Each of the four sides of the table top 1| carries a lug, as at 13, approximately centrally thereof, the lug being provided witha threaded aperture. A rectangular frame 14 is placed on top of the g5 table top 1|, and is provided With means for rmly aiiixing thereto the base plate of the printing mechanism. The' frame 14, together with the printing mechanism, is therefore disposed on the table top and within the space 30 enclosed by the upwardly projecting lugs 13 in such a manner that the frame 14 and the printing mechanism may be moved a substantial amount as desired, in order that the printed items may be properly aligned with the prog5 jecting apparatus. Threaded bolts 15 which cooperate with the threaded apertures of the lugs 13 serve to properly position the frame 14 and to receive the same in position. Lock nuts 16 are carried by the bolts 15 in order to retain the o bolts in the desired position.

It will be understood that the projector if desired may be made adjustable in respect to the printing mechanism, in order to provide the desired relative adjustability between the print- 5 ing device and projector, thereby making it possible to project an integral number of lines of printed matter on the screen, such lines being properly spaced within the screen frame and with no fractional parts of lines exhibited. 50

A junction box is indicated at 11 which carries the fuses and wiring connections for the printing mechanism, the box being mounted on the under side of the table top 1|, and a bracket 18 mounted on the under side of the box 11 serves 55 to support the reel 28.

The projecting mechanism, which cooperates with the printing device so as to project an enlarged image of a predetermined number of printed lines on to a screen where it may be n observed and read by a large number of spectators, comprises the illuminating unit 80 which may embody a plurality of lamps 8| and a refleeting surface 82, a projector lens 83, reflectors 84 and 85, a screen 86 and various cooling 65 conduits. The cooling conduits with the light and lens units, all together constitute one assembly unit which is mounted on the support 54'.

The housing of the illuminating unit 80 is dome-shaped, having a large opening at its top 70 to permit of the proper mounting of the lens system 83. The housing 80 is preferably provided with a diifusive reflecting surface 82. A hopper-like light supporting structure 81 is attached to the under face of the housing 80, and is of the sleeve |09.

provided with a circular series of openings 88 for receiving lamp sockets 89. The lamps 8| are, therefore, disposed in a circle around an opening 90 of the light housing, with the result that substantially a maximum amount of light is transmitted by the lamps 8| from the housing through the opening 90.

In order to protect the lamp sockets and the Wiring against possible injury, a cup-shaped annular ring 9| is attached to the supporting member 81, this ring 9| serving to cover the protruding portions of the sockets and of the wiring leading thereto. The ring 9| is preferably provided with depressed portions 92 at such points where lt is disposed immediately below the sockets, so as to provide ample room for the installation of the sockets.

The housing is associated with horizontally projecting tubular members 93, which are provided with large openings and which are adapted to register with two vertical conduits 94 and 95, these conduits merging into one larger conduit 96 in the lower portion of the air cooling system. The conduit 96 is enlarged in its lower portion and carries a ian 91 which is operated by an electric motor 98.

A cap member 99 is disposed immediately over an opening |00 in the dome-like housing 80 and is attached thereto by means of screws or screw bolts |0|. The cap member 99 is also provided with a pair of lateral openings |02 communicating respectively with a pair of conduits |09 and |04 serving to connect the cap 99 with the conduits 94 and 95, respectively. The elbow-shaped conduits |03 and |04 terminate in anges |05 and |06, respectively,` which are placed immediately over the tubular member 98 in such a manner that the passages in conduits 94 and 95 are continuous with the passages in the elbows |03 and |04, respectively, bolts |01 serving to hold the conduits, lamp housing and lens housing together, as one assembly unit which is secured on the support 54 by means of bolts |08. A cylindrical sleeve |09 is supported on the upper end of the lens housing 99 by means of a tubular member having a lateral ange ||0 (see Fig. 4), which is disposed intermediate the ends The sleeve |09 is fixed in the position shown and serves to slidably support the lens system 83, which is mounted as a unit in a sleeve The sleeve |09 is provided at its upper end with a lateral ange ||2, which rests upon the upper edge of the member ||0.

In order to permit the axial movement of the lens system 83, the lens carrier sleeve |09 is provided with an inclined groove H3, which cooperates with a pin ||4 projecting into said groove from the member |09. When a handle ||5 is moved so as to rotate the sleeves |09 and lli, the cooperation of the groove ||3 and the pin H4 will bring about an axial movement oi the lens system 83.

In order to prevent access of any light directly from the lamps 8| to the lens system 83, a downwardly projecting cylindrical shield I6 is mounted beneath the opening |00 in the housing 80 and secured by means oi a lateral ange IH, which is disposed intermediate the ends of the cylindrical shield IIB.

It will be seen that the fan 91 has direct communication with the inside `of the lamp housing 80 and with the space between the printing device and the lamp housing through the conduits 95, 94 and 95 and elbow conduits |03 and |04, which lead into the cap 99, and thence through the cylindrical shield 8 into the lamp housing, and then into the space between the lamp housing and the printing mechanism through the opening 90. Cooling may be effected either by suction or blowing, as desired. It is understood 5,

that the entire lamp housing and airconduit system and lens system are so disposed with relation to the printing mechanism and the supporting means therefor, that the lens system is positioned immediately above the rectangular 10 frame 29, so that all or any desired portion of the printed matter included in said trame may be projected on to a screen 88.

In order to permit of the proper positioning ot the projected printed matter on the screen l5 88, the entire printing device may be adjusted by means of the screws 15. In order to prevent the printing mechanism and the supporting table therefor from falling back into its exposed position, viz., the dotted line position shown in 20 Fig. 2, the conduit casting 89 carries a resilient catch H6', which is so disposed that when the table and printing mechanism are in operative position, it engages the inside face of the angle iron 68, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. A 25 spacing block II'I is also mounted on the conduit 99 which cooperates with a. screw ||8 mounted in a threaded aperture in the vertical portion of the angle iron 88, so as to obtain a further adjustment of the vertical position of the table 80 and the printing mechanism. A chain ||9 is attached at one end to the conduit casting and at the other end to the angle iron 68, so as to limit the extent of movement of the table and printing mechanism when the same is moved 35 from its upright to its inclined position, shown in Fig. 2.

For the purpose of preventing the possibility of projecting on to the screen certain stray light which under certain circumstances might form 40 ghost images on the screen, an adjustable member |20 is mounted at a point immediately adjacent the upper end of the lens system. 'I'he construction of this element |20 is shown in Fig. 3a, and comprises a foot portion |2|, which is 46 attached to the flange ||0 by means of screws passing through apertures |22, an angularly inclined portion |23, and a horizontally extending arm |24 which is disposed in such a manner adjacent one side of the lens system and thereover, 50 that by flexing the same, the undesired stray light may be cut olf.

The assemblies thus far described, namely, the base 52, the support 54, and the devices mounted on said support, including the printing mecha- 55 nism and the table therefor and the air conduit system together with the light and lens housings, may all be enclosed in a cabinet |25 and are preferably bolted to the iioor of the cabinet. 'I'he cabinet is provided with a door |26, which is pro- 00 vided with a downwardly directed passage |21, through which the printed web 2| may pass, so that it may be cut up in strips and mounted at any desired point.

When, for am' reason, it becomes desirable to 05 gain access to the printing mechanism, the door |26 is opened, the bolt 60 is then removed, and the entire apparatus is rotated about the shaft 58, the latch ||6 is disengaged from the angle iron 68, and the printing mechanism, together 70 with its supporting table is moved into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 2, so that the printing mechanism becomes easily accessible at vthe door of the cabinet.

A partition 2s of the cabinet is provided with "v" an opening |29, which registers with the lens system, so that the projected light passes into an upper chamber I6, where it is reflected by the reflecting surfaces 84 and 85 on to the screen 86, the image formed on the screen being magnified so that the printed matter appearing thereon may be read at a distance.

The reiiecting surfaces 84 and 85 are mounted in the chamber |6 in the manner shown in Figs. 8 and 9 of the drawings, and are preferably so disposed as to provide for the double reflection of the rays of light passing through the lens system into said chamber and on to the screen 86. While in the construction shown in the drawings the reflecting surface is shown in a fixed position with relation to the opening |29 and the screen 86 and the reflecting surface 84 is made adjustable so as to lobtain the image at the desired height on the screen; it is to be understood, however, that this relationship may be reversed if desired so that the reflecting surface 84 may be fixed and 85 may be adjustable, or if desired, both said surfaces may be adjustable.

The supporting means for the reflectors comprises a stand |30 having an inclined frame |34 provided with a pair of angular supporting legs |32 which in turn have feet |33 adapted to be bolted to the partition |28. The reflecting mirror 85 is enclosed in a frame |34 which is provided with lateral flanges |35 for bolting the same on to the support |30 by means of screws |36.

The support |30 carries on each side thereof a split clamping sleeve |31 for the support of a pair of extension rods |38. The sleeves |31 and the rods |38 are disposed angularly in such a manner that the reflecting surface 84 may be mounted upon the upper ends of the rods |38 to substantially overlie the opening |29, at the proper angle.

The frame |38 which holds the reflecting surface 84 is provided with lateral rectangular hollow extensions |40. The closed ends |4| of said extensions are provided with bearing apertures which cooperate with pivoting studs |42 on split clamps |43, which in turn are slidably mounted on the upper ends of the rods |38.

The rods |38 are preferably maintained in a fixed position by means of the clamping sleeves 131. By movement of the clamping sleeves |43 on the rods |38 the position of the reflecting survface 84 with relation to the lens system 83 and with relation to the reflector surface 85 may be adjusted at will in such a manner as to obtain the desired degree of magnication of the printed matter on the screen.

With the provision of such relative adjustability of the mirrors, the image may be properly located not only for a vertical screen but, if desired, also for a screen tilted forward, for example.

If desired the screen might be made' adjustable in position and as to dimensions, in lieu of mirror adjustments. In some cases, and particularly where the printed strip of data to b projected is relatively elongated, the projection lens system may be more readily made to eliminate ioptical imperfections if the projection table is Y, verse sections of the projected area of the strip may be located at substantially the same distance from the object glass as at |50 of the projection lens system.

It is preferable that the reflecting surfaces 84 j and 85 be so disposed with relation to each other and with relation to the screen that the path of travel of ,a series of rays of light equidistant froml the optical axis of the lens system should be substantially equal in length. AFor this reason and in order to permit adjustment of the image-at 5 the proper elevation, a support for the reflecting surface 84 is preferably provided with an adjustment for varying the angular position of the refleeting surface 84. Each clamping sleeve |43 is provided with an inwardly projecting ledge |44 10 which is disposed. immediately below the closed ends |4| of the extensions |40. Ledges |44 are provided with threaded apertures receiving adjustment screws |45 which project above the ledges and abut against the lower edges of the 15 extensions |40. By proper manipulation of screws |45, the reflector 84 may be tilted and the same may be positioned in the proper angular relationship to the reflecting surface 85 so as to obtain a non-distorted image at the desired 20 height on the screen.

The screen 86 which is preferably mounted on thefront face of the reecting chamber |6 is provided with a rectangular hollow frame |46 which presents a series of inclined faces around 25 the screen. The frame |48 serves to protect the screen and to prevent any excessive amount of light from striking the front face of the screen.

In one of the preferred embodiments of the invention, the various elements entering into the 30 construction are so designed as to provide for the projection of a plurality or series of printed lines, each line being entirely completed. In the modification shown in Figs. 10, 11 and 12, a structure is provided which makes it possible to 35 project a series of printed lines which includes the last line in the process of being printed.

For this purpose the structure is modified in such a manner that the printing instead of taking place laterally at a point on the traveling 0 web where it is in a vertical position, the printing takes place vertically and after the web has assumed a horizontal position in the frame 29, the opening in the frame being enlarged to include the type wheel 23 and the relationship be- 45 tween the frame and the optical system being such that the line which is being printed is projected in so far as possible, together with a series of completely printed lines. In order to protect the type wheel and the inking rollers 50 against the effect of the heat from the lamp 0|,

a narrow casing |41 is mounted on the shaft 24 in such a manner that it moves longitudinally of the shaft together with the type wheel 23. Fig. l0 shows a vertical sectional view of the ar- |55 rangement described, and Fig. 11 shows a plan view of such an arrangement in which a shaft 23' is disposed over the frame 29. Fig. l2 shows the image obtained on the screen of the apparatus shown in Figs. 10 and l1.

In order that the intense heat from the source of illumination will not create dangerous temperature conditions, the lamp circuit should preferably be under the control of the ventilating motor, that is, the lamp circuit may be arc5 ranged to be under the control of any known form of centrifugal switch operatively connected to the motor, whereby if the motor stops or slows down beyond a predetermined limit, the lamp circuit will be broken. With such arrange- 70 ment, the lamps will be lighted only when sufficient circulation of cooling air is available to prevent overheating of the paper or the web and mechanism in the neighborhood of the lamp.

While the invention as illustrated 1n connec- 7l printed either by the use of a dark colored or black ink on a web providing a light background, or in some instances it may be found desirable to use a. web furnishing a black or dark background upon which the characters may be printed with white or light colored ink. This last alternative is particularly advantageous in securing a sharp denition of the printed image on the screen, particularly when the screen is located in a relatively well lighted room and where the image is projected on to the rear of the screen.

To suit various operating conditions, the relative arrangements and spacings of the portions of the apparatus may of course be altered. For example, the printed strip might be retained in a. vertical position while the data is being projected therefrom, and the position of the other parts of the apparatus would be correspondingly altered.

While the printing device herein is of the type which is operated electrically from a central station and is designed to transmit news to a large number of stations from a central transmitting station, it is of course apparent that this invention in certain of its aspects may be used in connection with other types of printing devices.

In the appended claims, it shall be understood that the expression printing device" generically comprehends any equivalent arrangement such, for example, as a typewriter, telautograph, etc. for producing or forming characters in line form transversely of a travelling web.

While I have described my improvements in detail and with respect to preferred forms thereof, I do not desire to be limited to such details or forms, since many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in its broader aspects. Hence I desire to cover all modifications and forms coming within the language or scope of any one or more of the appended claims.
